Living Time Space Knowledge Vision

Class with Hayward Fox
Saturdays, July 9-30, 2022, 8:00 am PDT
Price: $120

Hayward has been a psychotherapist for fifty years and a student of Time, Space, Knowledge forty of those years. He reports that an integrative knowledge has emerged. He says, “Knowledge of time and space allows a loosening of our personal identity, along with all its habits and concerns. The stubborn tendency that is me can be opened to a larger field of knowledge with more options and freedom.” We are pleased that Hayward has agreed to offer this class unpacking the Mountain Retreat & Giant Body Exercises to reveal the wholeness of the Vision.

Saying "Yes" to Experience

Learn how to activate the radical immediacy available within our ordinary experience.

TSK Retreat with Jack Petranker
July 17-22, 2022 at Ratna Ling Retreat Center
Price: $1,695. Financial assistance is available.

We live in a world shaped by the stories we tell about it—stories centered on the self. Using a logic that starts with the existence of the self, we turn knowledge into a tool that we use to uphold our own limits.

In this retreat, we will question this commitment to the self and the therapeutic mindset it puts in place. Focusing strongly on practice, we will learn how to activate the radical immediacy available within our ordinary experience, if only we know how to look for it. We will learn what it means to say “yes” to experience, to discover freedom within the patterns of the ordinary and bring it into every moment.
